Materna is a large, owner-managed family business that combines digitalisation with a sense of responsibility – from strategy and development through to stable operations. Drawing on many years of experience in public administration, Materna supports EU institutions, agencies and bodies in implementing digital services that are secure, interoperable and citizen-focused.
As an internationally successful IT group, we advise on all aspects of digitalisation and deliver bespoke solutions for individual projects. With confidence and a passion for technology, we are committed to serving a connected Europe.
The European Union needs digital solutions that work in everyday life – reliable, secure, interoperable and compliant with regulations. We are currently focusing in particular on three areas: sovereign digital government across borders, the secure operation of critical platforms, and the responsible use of data and artificial intelligence in public administration.
Digital government in Europe must be sovereign, interoperable and sustainable in the long term. We focus on how administrative and specialist procedures can be designed to meet regulatory requirements, enable interoperability across institutions and Member States, and at the same time strengthen digital sovereignty and the ability to act. Materna contributes decades of experience in public administration – from eGovernment and register modernisation to complex specialist procedures such as ATLAS and EMCS.
Digital sovereignty does not end with development. It becomes particularly evident in secure and stable operations. We focus on how the EU’s business- and mission-critical IT systems can be operated with lasting availability, resilience and compliance. This includes IT service management, cloud and platform operations, cyber security, managed services, and clear operational responsibility for digital infrastructures that public administrations, businesses and citizens can rely on.
Data and AI can make public administration more effective – provided they are used in a trustworthy, explainable and compliant manner. We therefore focus in particular on how data spaces, analytics, GenAI and automation can create real value in regulated public-sector environments: with quality-assured data, transparent governance, data protection, security, and people retaining responsibility and oversight throughout the process.
Our approach is based on trust-based collaboration, co-creation and innovative ecosystems to successfully tackle the challenges of digitalisation. Materna supports you holistically and as an equal partner. From ideation and consultancy through to implementation, including change management and cultural transformation for sustainable success. We transform market trends and technologies into cutting-edge solutions. Together, we are shaping the digital future for Europe – securely and confidently.
At Materna, we combine comprehensive expertise, market-leading technologies and strategic partnerships to actively shape the digital future of the European Union. With a clear focus on vendor independence, we specifically deploy the best technologies and, together with our partners, develop bespoke solutions that create real added value. With sovereignty in mind, we also rely on open source.
